Make Histri project

The ‘Make Histri’ project aims at reconstructing the exchange history (‘Histri’) of
all bacterial and archaeal type strains as can be deduced from the information contained
in BRC online catalogs. A Histri, visualized as a rooted tree, contains all known strain
numbers attributed to the various cultures of a given strain, annotated with additional
information about each transfer of microbial material.

More information can be found in:Verslyppe, B., De Smet, W., De Baets, B., De Vos, P., and Dawyndt, P. (2011).

Histri activity

All strains in StrainInfo have a Histri, even if they are not included in the original Make Histri scope.
The strain's Histri can be edited using the edit button on the strain passport.
It is also possible to see all intermediate versions of a strain's Histri (button also on strain passport).
